Living For God In A World Without

1 Peter 2:11-12
11Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. 12Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.


We who follow Christ are like strangers to those around us, living a life that is for Christ. The world is full of evil, and God has called us to be in the world, living in it, but not of the world, keeping to God's Holy ways.

Sometimes, it is difficult to live my life for Christ, but as I try my best to do His good works, I hope to make a difference to those around me, praying that I may be a testament to God's glory.

Father God, I praise Your Holy name. I honor You and give you glory. I thank you for your mercy, and I thank you for giving me a full life. I pray that I may be a witness to others that they may know the love that You have given. I pray for Your Holy Spirit to continue to do the good works in those around me. Allow me to be a witness for You. I pray all this that You may be glorified in Jesus mighty name.
Amen.
